[ZaidTabani]

Thank you for identifying Candace Owens as a purveyor of white Christian nationalism. 🫡

1hr+ long vid from Kat Abu? Looks like my Wednesday evening plans are made!

Wow this aged liked fine wine. Watching this in May 2025 was both sobering and horrifying, especially the end listening to you go down a list of Project 2025 aims that have already been enacted. I came to your page after learning of you running for office. I wish I could vote for you. Thanks so much for doing great work like this.

The dog whistles always catch my attention. The obvious omitions sticks out so much.

Thanks for a great video

As a Christian it’s pretty frustrating to see hypocrites like these guys who force their beliefs onto others and limit their freedoms

[TonyHightower]

"I identify with values, rather than a specific faith." That's a sentence I'm going to start using. Thanks for that.

This is hands down the best explanation for what has been happening in our society for decades. Everyone needs to watch this.

[WingedAngels]

I just want you to know I don’t have time right now, but have set this aside to watch as soon as I have time.

The original Constitution of the United States that was ratified in 1789 had only ONE REFERENCE TO RELIGION: [Article 6] No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any Office or Public Trust under the United States.

The de facto motto of the United States, adopted as part of the Great Seal of the U.S. by an Act of Congress in 1782, was E. Pluribus Unum (Out of Many, One). Congress changed it 174 years later (1956) to "In God We Trust".

The ORIGINAL 'Pledge of Allegiance' was written in 1892 by Baptist Minister Francis Bellamy who DID NOT INCLUDE the words "Under God". Those were added by Congress 62 year later (1954).

The U.S. didn't issue Paper Currency until 1861, & 'In God We Trust' didn't appear on it for 96 years (1957).

“As the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian Religion" ~ Treaty of Tripoli; initiated under President George Washington, 1796, signed into law by President John Adams, 1797, ratified unanimously by the Senate, 1797, published in full in all 13 states, with no record of complaint or dissent.

"I am for freedom of religion and against all maneuvers to bring about a legal ascendancy of one sect over another."
--Thomas Jefferson, letter to Elbridge Gerry, January 26, 1799

“Christianity neither is, nor ever was part of the common law.” Thomas Jefferson

“Religion and government will both exist in greater purity the less they are mixed together.” James Madison

“The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.” John Adams

"In every country, in every age, the priest has always been hostile to liberty...He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection of his own."
Thomas Jefferson

Founding Father Thomas Paine on Christianity. “The most detestable wickedness, the most horrid cruelties, and the greatest miseries that have afflicted the human race, have had their origin in this thing called revelation, or revealed religion…”

"A great democracy must be progressive or it will soon cease to be great or a democracy, " Teddy Roosevelt


AMERICA WAS NOT FOUNDED ON "CHRISTIAN VALUES", IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE A CHRISTIAN NATION, IT NEVER WILL BE A CHRISTIAN NATION. AMERICA IS A SECULAR COUNTRY. YOUR "FREEDUM OF RELIGION' ENDS WHERE MY CONSTITUTIONAL & BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS, LIBERTIES & PRIVLEGES BEGIN. DON'T LIKE IT, D!3 MAD ABOUT IT.

[Matt-ypez]

This is amazing, I don't think I ever saw a politician talk about Christianity like this. I really hope Kat wins. I wish I could vote for her.

“When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross”

[skylerjohnson]

Great video! There are not enough youtube channels explaining this threat to America. I am only recently finding videos like yours. We are in dire times...

[alfredk]

Wow! An impressive amount of work went into this, it's actually much more a documentary than an opinion piece.

[wlr]

Excellent work putting this together. Every time I watch one of your videos it makes my heart happy giving me hope for the future.

"They see rights as a zero sum game" is one of the best phrasing of right wing fear I've ever heard.

[gorbgorb]

These essays are amazing, please keep making them!

[daffiid]

This video is nice because it seems like something you could show to a non-politically aware family member. It's not just meant for people already firmly on our side. I like that you extensively show direct clips of the Christian nationalists so they make themselves look insane, rather than only us talking about them

An hour long Kat Abu video! I'm so down! I love all your work. I actually just cited/used part of your Mike Huckabee video in my own longer video project I'm putting together, in a project meant to show conservative relatives about just how we got here. Anybody that watches as much fox news as you do (and for the right reasons, obviously) deserves support!
